Democrats have been stockpiling ideas for months on how to retaliate against companies and figures that have aligned themselves closely to President Donald Trump's political agenda, telegraphing that merger breakups and committee investigations will play a central role in their efforts to push back against the administration should they regain power.
Most recently, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., took to social media to highlight his most recent entry on that list.
"Brendan Carr is a corrupt political hack and fake chair of the FCC," Jeffries said in a post to X. "This guy (and the entities he promotes) will find himself on the wrong side of a congressional investigation in short order."
Jeffries' comments were made in response to a post from Carr, suggesting the administration would more closely review license renewals for broadcasters perpetuating "fake news."
